Do we live on sunlight or do we live on fossilised sunlight?
The more I learn about renewable energy, the more I realise it’s not that complicated. I feel I’ve spent far too long getting lost in the politics and economics of it in the UK while sitting on my hands doing nothing. In the UK, the challenge is not technical, it’s more societal, political and navigating the mazes of legislation.
Today, on the permaculture course, the content was familiar. In the morning we talked about energy - the concepts, the types, the current situation, and how it links with permaculture. This was facilitated by my colleague Sam. It was interesting to get reactions from people about our project (access:energy) and to take a different perspective on what we are doing.
In the afternoon we made rocket stoves. These are relatively easy to build. All you need is some clay, dirt, water and a banana stem. There’s a guide on the access:energy website right here if you’re interested. And photos from the session are here on Facebook.
